Top 10 sporting moments of 2013

Lance Armstrong, the seven time Tour de France winner, revealed he had used an array of performance enhancing drugs to win the event. Armstrong admitted using testosterone and human growth hormone, as well as EPO -- a hormone naturally produced by human kidneys to stimulate red blood cell production.

In August 2013, the world was left stunned by the news that Oscar Pistorius had been charged with premeditated murder in the death of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. The ''Blade Runner" will go on trial in March 2014 in his native South Africa.

Andy Murray's triumph at Wimbledon ended a 77-year wait for a British male champion. Scotsman Murray, who had lost in the final 12 months earlier, defeated Novak Djokovic in straight sets following a titanic tussle.

Alex Ferguson stepped down as manager of Manchester United following over two decades in charge. Ferguson signed off by winning the Premier League title -- just one of 38 trophies he won during his time at Old Trafford.

After losing out in its home stadium to Chelsea in the 2012 final, Bayern finally got its hands on the European Champions League trophy. The German side won the domestic double too in a season which climaxed with victory over German rivals Borussia Dortmund at Wembley. Coach Jupp Heynckes left Bayern at the end of the season to be replaced by former Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola.

Oracle Team USA skippered by James Spithill celebrated a remarkable victory in September after coming from 8-1 down to defeat Emirates Team New Zealand. Oracle, which defeated the Swiss team Alinghi three years ago, held onto its title when it seemed certain to suffer one of the most humiliating defeats the America's Cup had ever seen.

Sachin Tendulkar finally waved goodbye to his adoring cricket fans following a stellar international career which lasted 24 years and one day. The Indian batsman, nicknamed "The Little Master" is considered one of the finest players of all time.

Sebastian Vettel claimed a fourth successive Formula One drivers' title following another stunning season. The German, who won the final nine races of the season to take his tally to 13 overall, is still only 26.

Football player Zahir Belounis is embraced by his mother as he arrives from Qatar at the French Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle airport on November 28, 2013. The French-Algerian footballer, 33, had been unable to leave Qatar since June 2012, after he filed a complaint against his club Al-Jaish over a payment dispute.

Europe's women triumphed on U.S. soil for the very first time to claim victory in the Solheim Cup. The visiting team won 18-10 thanks to a Swedish contingent which included Caroline Hedwall, Annika Sorenstam, Liselotte Neumann, Carin Koch and Anna Nordqvist.

Confession of the year -- Lance Armstrong

He was a hero and role model to millions across the globe but Lance Armstrong's world came crashing down in January after admitting to using testosterone and human growth hormone, as well as EPO -- a hormone naturally produced by human kidneys to stimulate red blood cell production.

How has cycling recovered?

'We called it the Lance mafia'

The confession, made to U.S. talk show host Oprah Winfrey in January, led to condemnation from millions and saw Armstrong stripped of his seven Tour de France titles.

Heralded as an inspiration to athletes across the world just a year earlier, Oscar Pistorius' fall from grace was as rapid as it was shocking.

A star of the London Olympic Games, Pistorius, nicknamed the "Blade Runner" for the special prostheses he uses for sprinting, was arrested by South African police after admitting to shooting girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine's Day.

He said it was an accident and will go on trial in March 2014 charged with murder.

It was the year that German football left the watching world in a trance as both Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund reached May's European Champions League final.

Bayern, beaten in the 2012 final in its own stadium by Chelsea, triumphed 2-1 at Wembley and went on to win the treble after claiming the Bundesliga title and German domestic cup.

The German team's form in the past few months has been nothing short of sensational, winning 14 of its 16 league games to sit top of the league going into the winter break as well as qualifying for the last 16 of the Champions League.

Never before in the 162-year history of the America's Cup had any race captured the imagination quite like the contest between Oracle Team USA and Emirates Team New Zealand.

Team Oracle's great fightback

Trailing 8-1, defending champion Oracle came back from the abyss to win 9-8 in the final race in San Francisco.

It was the comebacks of all comebacks as the Americans, who were deducted two points before the opening race for placing lead pellets in their catamarans to gain extra weight, prevailed in dramatic fashion.

For the very first time, Europe's women's golf team managed to do something which had always eluded them -- they won on American soil.

Charley Hull's incredible journey

Liselotte Neumann's Europeans, needing just three and a half points from the final day's play to retain the trophy they won in Ireland two years ago, won five and halved four of 12 singles matches to complete an 18-10 victory.

It was 17-year-old Charley Hull who stole the show on the last day in Colorado in August -- recording an astonishing 5 & 4 win over 2010 U.S. Open champion and world No. 11 Paula Creamer.

So what did we miss?

Should we have included the Boston Red Sox winning the World Series? The Chicago Blackhawks triumphing in the Stanley Cup? Bosnia and Herzegovina qualifying for the World Cup? Or the British and Irish Lions securing a first Test series win in 16 years against Australia?
